Eliminate the dangerous leap to the dock and protect your topsides with the Dan-Fender Fender2step™. This clever, multi-functional marine accessory pulls double duty as both a robust multi-level boarding ladder and an integrated protective hull fender. Specifically designed with two steps for boats with high topsides, it provides a safe, stable platform for children, pets, and crew members to comfortably step on and off the vessel or transition from a dinghy.

No more awkward climbing or hazardous jumps when coming alongside a pontoon. The Dan-Fender Fender2step™ in Classic Navy Blue builds on the wild success of the original single FenderStep™, introducing a secondary lower step to make boarding safer and more effortless than ever. It is the ultimate tool for vessels with high freeboard topsides, or for anyone looking to make boarding from a trailing tender or low dock completely stress-free.

Unlike traditional rigid boarding ladders, which are bulky to store and prone to scratching gelcoat, the Fender2step™ is cast from high-strength marine-grade PVC with integrated, solid-molded rope holds. It acts exactly like a heavy-duty inflatable fender while hung over the side, absorbing impacts while giving you a solid footing when you need to step ashore.

Setting it up is quick and easy. Simply rig it to separate strongpoints on your boat before entering a marina. The navy blue color blends beautifully with modern hull designs, while the high-grade metal inflation valve features a protective screw cap to lock out dirt, salt, and sand for long-term air retention.
